What are the odds? The Washington Commanders are road underdogs against the New York Giants

The Washington Commanders played their worst game in a terrible season against the Minnesota Vikings earlier today, getting shut out 31-0.

Dan Quinn: Jayden Daniels should play again this season

Dan Quinn: Jayden Daniels should play again this season

Dan Quinn said tonight’s shutout/blowout loss to the Minnesota Vikings was unacceptable. He thought the team took a step forward last week in their overtime loss to the Broncos, but they took three steps back today in a 31-0 loss. Jayden Daniels landed hard on his left elbow while pursuing a Vikings defender who had just picked him off. Quinn said Daniels could have returned to the game, but he made the call to keep him on the sidelines after the Vikings went up 17-0 in the 3rd quarter.

Zach Ertz also left the game due to injury, but he...

Zach Ertz carted from sideline with knee injury

The Washington Commanders have been devastated with injuries this season, and there have been more in Minnesota. Jayden Daniels left the game in the 3rd quarter after he landed on his left elbow. Now Zach Ertz has suffered a potentially season-ending injury. He went up for a catch, and had his knee taken out by Vikings safety Jay Ward. Ertz went to the sidelines with help from trainers, and immediately went into the blue tent. He was carted to the back to get checked out, and was quickly ruled out.
